I'm going to replace the original '74 3 port fuel pump with a '75-76 2 port model in the original stock location on the body under the R/S engine tin. As long as the flow rate and the operating pressure are sufficient, are there any operational problems putting it there?? How about mounting??
I know these pumps "push" fuel better than suction, but I don't want to relocate it to the front trunk. (I'm also trying to avoid buying a China rebuilt 3 port.) All help appreciated. Paul |

I think the reason that Porsche moved the fuel pump up front in the first place was to fix a persistent problem with vapor lock.
I maintain a '74 914 that has the 3 port pump up front, mounted next to the steering rack. The relocation was done by a PO, but it seems to work fine as far as I can tell. |
